Clear and bright appearance, pale straw colour with a nice youthful greenish tinge. Pear and apricot tart-like aromatics with a lashing of vanilla pod, some subtle baking spices at workhere too; cardamom, a dusting of cinnamon and a shake of powdered ginger. Very concentrated mid palate and quite a full bodied and powerful wine. It has density of flavour with a creamy texture and considerable phenolic weight. Probably my favourite feature is the very moreish and quite ‘peachy’ tasting sherbet like acidity. A pretty serious expression of Pinot Gris here, and so it should be! Really ripe fruit, plenty of skin contact and barrel ferment. Delicious now but will certainly develop well over a couple of years.

The 2020/2021 growing season was a stark reminder for many of us in the grape farming community that we deal with a seasonal crop and a vineyard is a business without a roof over it! Mother nature doesn’t care that cold, wet springs are really, really tough on us. One factor which made the previous harvest such a pleasure was the long warm Autumn we experienced during picking. The Indian summer continued through the winter months of June and July withplenty of blue-sky days and little rainfall. Winter did eventually arrive, but it arrived in spring. We battled a record number of frost events and had to deal with persistent cold, wet southerly fronts throughout the key flowering period in late October/early November. Normally flowering takes place over a week or so and ideal conditions are dry with moderate winds. We got the opposite in the extreme.

A good grape farmer will plant and cultivate a diverse array of clones and varieties in part to help negate challenging growing conditions. Different clones/varieties flower at different times, some early, some much later. In any given season there will be clones/varieties which do much better than others and this is normally down to the conditions during the key flowering stage. By having diversity, you can better ensure a consistently good outcome. So goes the theory! Yields across all varieties and all clones were well down in 2021. Pinot clones Abel and 777 fared much better than pretty much all the rest. Our Pinot Meunier, normally areal stalwart, suffered as well. Syrah flowers much later so was largely unaffected. White varieties did a little better but still well down. In the end we were down on yields by around 30-40% ... Ouch! Luckily, for us at least, due to an excellent long and dry ripening period, the quality of what was harvested was outstanding.

Grown over three different blocks at our Blue Rock Vineyard. The most mature block, part of the original vines planted in 1986, tends to ripen earlier and has much smaller berries andcluster sizes, plus the skins tend to have increased levels of flavour and phenolics. This block was destemmed and allowed 24 hours in contact with the skins before gentle pressing and fermentation in seasoned oak barrels.

The other two blocks were harvested and whole bunch pressed together. The juice was run off into a temperature controlled stainless steel tank for a long, cool ferment. Following about 6 months on lees the tank and barrel portions were blended together and gently filtered before bottling in Mid-October 2021.

Food Pairing: Delicious with Chinese five spice pork belly with chilli caramel sauce.

There's a cute story there. The guys are sweet, but... I don't know. It's very vanilla. Not just the mediocre spicy scenes, but the whole story. It's just ok.

3 Alpha Cowboys, One Omega City Girl, 3 Months of Forced Proximity - ALL The Spice
Format: Kindle
What could be better than a Cowboy Romance? How about THREE cowboys. If that Reverse Harem reveal doesn't peak your interest, what if I told you that all the cowboys are also Alphas & our FMC is an Omega? Interested yet? Thought so.... Finding out that there is an entire sub-genre (sub-sub-genre??) of non-shifter Alphas & Omega books has been a recent discovery that I am quite enjoying. Up until this last month I had only seen the Alpha / Omega trope in association with Paranormal Shifter Romance. However, this new-to-me concept introduces all the fun of Alpha & Omega pheromones, heat cycles, & knotting with no were-creature trope required. None of that unnecessary slobber or shedding found here! OK there was some shedding, but that was just from the three adorable adopted cats featured in this story. Oh, and maybe some drool on my end as I through some of the spicier scenes. The spice in this one is hotter'n a blister bug in a pepper patch -- or some other Cash approved country saying. Speaking of Cash...I'm pretty sure I need to send Harley a Thank You card for writing these spectacular men. Maybe a gift basket? How does one appropriately show gratitude to an author for creating truly exceptional male character. Which is, in fact, what all the Alphas in this book are. They hit all the book boyfriend tropes: 🩷 Cash Winslow: Your typical golden retriever cowboy. He is tall, blonde, and has a joke or "cowboy-ish" for almost any situation. 💕Scent: Fresh sage, strong coffee, old leather. 🩷 Walker Stone: Tall, dark, & broody this Cowboy is the enforcer of the group. He is also a HUGE flirt & say all the right things! 💕Scent: Cedar & Cinnamon 🩷 Ridge Colter: The stoic & reserved ginger has a heart of gold behind the walls he tries to put up. 💕Scent: Honey & Fresh Bread The FMC, Sophia Hollis, has her hands....and other places....full with these three. Fresh out of a very toxic (trigger warning) relationship with her ex-Alpha, she has no idea what it means to be truly cherished as an Omega. When she inherited the Wild Hearts Ranch, she figured she would travel from her home in Chicago to Montana, sell the ranch, and be on her way with enough cash to pay off her debts and start a new life for herself. What she didn't expect was for that inheritance to come with terms. Terms that dictate she live on the ranch for three months before she can sell. Three months.....with three hot Alphas....what could go wrong? "Three months in Montana with three Alphas, a bull named Brutus who has it out for me, and I have no idea if this small town even has a heat clinic. What could possibly go wrong?" - pg. 27 Nothing....absolutely nothing goes wrong...in fact, after reading this book I would say that things went very VERY right for her. Without giving too much away, here are just some of my top highlights & notes from the book: Instant alpha / omega scent recognition. Shirtless Cowboys.....a lot of shirtless cowboys. A guest house with a library & swinging chair. (Sadly no on-page library spice) Ranch / Animal Sanctuary. Alpha sponsored shopping trip. (Yes - Dressing Room Fun Occurred) Junk Measuring (With actual measuring tape) Late Night Stargazing Lord Weasleton of a Grandson (Seriously....somebody take this guy out back) Bull Riding & Rodeo (because....of course) Omega Heat Guard Dog Bull (Seriously his name is Bruno & he is very cranky) Adventures with Ice Cream (Mango might just be my new favorite flavor) Smutty Bookclub (That I wish I could join....seriously...the themed meetings...the costumes...LMFAO) Small Town Found Family.....and gossip Cowboy-isms Version of Truth or Dare He makes her "O" 7 times just to compete with the MMC in her bookclub book. And so much more.... For those of you wondering, the true spice starts around 50% in, but the flirting & banter builds the tension in the best of ways. If you are looking for your next Alpha / Omega Cowboys Romance I suggest you take this one for a ride.

Sweet But With Depth!
Format: Kindle
“maybe, just maybe, some things are worth chasing across the sky. Even if you never catch them.” This is a sweet, cozy OV romance—but it actually has unexpected depth. I picked this up expecting a light read with low angst. And, while I got a low angst read—it was so much more than that. It’s people piecing themselves back together after serious hurts, and learning it’s okay to be vulnerable. Learning it’s okay to allow yourself to be loved The characters are well rounded and very real, including the “broody” cowboy that could have easily been a stereotype—but was actually one of the best in the whole book. It’s got just the right level of spice, and boy is it well written! I couldn’t put it down. This is no shallow OV read, this has heart and soul. It’s absolutely beautifully written. It honestly deserves more than five stars!

read it for the cowboys
Format: Kindle
it was a fun, engaging read. there was a lot of time spent on emphasizing how hot these cowboys were ...so that was pretty enjoyable. i love a soft (but hard when you need to be) man -- and these guys were all pillow-soft but also, touch her and die vibes. plus, heats & alpha/omega & knotting - i am in, like flynn! i didn't quite enjoy the influencer/blogger bits but that's a personal preference - but otherwise, it was a cute story that i would recommend.
